It’s Sunday and the WeWriWa blog hop is here! In the hop, writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories.
This week, I’m continuing where I left off last week in Bloodbloom. Lance and Cupid are finally face-to-face after five years.
Thank you for stopping by!
“Hello and welcome, Mr. Bloodbloom.” He offers a little bow, but his angelic brown eyes hold my gaze with confidence. When we first met, he rarely met anyone’s gaze.
“Hello, Cupid.” I pause in front of him and he continues staring. His heartbeat quickens and there’s something in his scent — something that mingles with his mint cologne and natural musk that takes me aback.
That scent is familiar, but unwanted for our present situation. The last thing I need right now is complications from this beautiful boy. I can only hope that Lucas has trained him well enough to know his place.
About Bloodbloom
(M/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Lance Bloodbloom: For years I’ve served as an agent for the Sovereign Vampire of the USA. Since the demon occupation, I’ve fought on the side of the rebellion. Now I’ve been reassigned to the Savage Sage Club, which is also a safe house for refugees. My dilemma is Cupid — a former prostitute who now runs the club. From the moment I freed him from a sadistic flesh peddler, he stole my heart, but in my line of work, one can’t have a heart. Despite this, when I finally see Cupid again, I doubt I can control my passion for him.
Cupid: The night Lance rescued me from the dungeon where I’d been forcibly turned into a vampire and mercilessly used for blood and sex, I knew I would love him forever. He sent me away, though, to a place where I could recover and build a new life, and I have. I’m no longer a prostitute, and I run a club that is also a haven for members of the rebellion. Lance Bloodbloom is back, and I want him more than ever, so I’ll need to convince him that love is possible, even for a centuries-old warrior.

An intriguing excerpt, flows so smoothly that I wasn’t ready for it to end!
Love the hot cover. Whew! I didn’t want you snippet to end.
Even if Cupid “knows his place,” will Lance remember his?
Now I want to know what happens next.
This story sounds sweet and spicy at the same time. A nice snippet!
